im finding these videos really helpful im just in the planning and starting my flower farm/veg growing farm and im super nervous, excited and cant wait to get going now, one of our sources of income will be selling flower boquet in markets, our weekly boxes and independent business, retailers in my area this is great resource and inspiration thankyou hunni xx
Just found you tonight, and have watched a few videos and even subscribed. I was really glad to see with that many stems, that this wasn't a $20 arrangement! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I'm planning on starting up a primarily dahlia arrangement business, with added cut flowers. I love them so!
I purchased your “Garden Planning Book”. Lots of great information!!! I’m not a flower farmer but I do have several large pollinator oriented flower beds and I do grow my own seedlings under grow lights (I haven’t purchased any seedlings from a green house in 2 years…I even grew regional wildflower perennials from seed this last spring). Your book will definitely help me in 2023!!
Wow! I love hearing all of this! 'Flower farmer' or not it seems like you certainly have the knack for growing some beautiful things! I am so excited for what 2023 has in store for you- wishing you nothing but the most beautiful and abundant season ahead! 💛💛
Binge watching your videos today, LOL. I like the idea actually of coming up with a variety of bouquets, not all the same, it's a personal preference for many of the reasons you stated, mainly being smaller grower. Also, I have found people seem to like the variety at my stand. Great video!!
I love all your videos! I’ve been binge watching them and getting excited to grow flowers next year. How long do you cut your stems? I see that they are min like 18 inches
Awe thank you! Cheering you on as you begin your flower growing adventure next season:) I do cut my stems pretty long- while I've never measured them exactly, I'd estimate that my stems are likely in that 18-22 inch range :)
Awe thanks! We're located in West Michigan and are considered zone 5b/6a :) Price is tricky only because it can vary so much even based on region. Some of these bouquets being on the fuller side would likely bring $25-$30.
Price is hard and something that I still struggle with at times! There's so much more that goes into price than just the number of stems in your bouquets- it's about the value that you provide to your customers! Truly that's why Walmart may charge $15 for a pair of jeans- and yet a more high-end brand like Madewell may charge $100+. In reality, both brands are charging for a pair of jeans- yet bc of their perceived value they receive two completely different prices! All that to say, there's no right or wrong way to price your flowers- it all depends on what feels good to you. A bouquet like this I'd likely charge around $25. Hope that helps!
A majority of my tubers have come from farms local to me here in Michigan. I love supporting both Hudsonville Dahlia Farm and Summer Dreams Farm- but I’ve also had great luck buying from farms like Swan Island Dahlias and The Farmhouse Flower Farm to name a few 💛
